The first luxury tent and villa encampment open in Laos in 2017

Rosewood Hotels & Resorts® has been appointed by Waterfall Management Sole Co., Ltd.

Rosewood Hotels & Resorts® has been appointed by Waterfall Management Sole Co., Ltd. to manage Rosewood Luang Prabang in Laos, scheduled to open 2017 as a luxury escape that will epitomize the collection’s A Sense of Place® philosophy.

Within 10 minutes’ drive from the historic city of Luang Prabang guests will be enveloped in an ethereal, idyllic setting as the resort is completely immersed within a virtually untouched natural environment. Rosewood Luang Prabang will be the only luxury vacation destination in the vicinity with no sightlines to civilization.

Guests will have a choice between eight deluxe villas, three garden villas, six private pool villas and five luxury tents. The 100-square-meter tents will be a first for Rosewood. Elements inspired by Lao tradition and French colonial style will be woven throughout, from design and architecture to use of indigenous materials and accents of locally inspired artwork.

An arrival manor will offer a bar and a bistro serving French and Laotian cuisine. The manor will also house the brand’s signature Sense, A Rosewood Spa with three individual treatment rooms.

The resort will be designed and built by Bangkok-based American architect Bill Bensley according to UNESCO guidelines, and will also be the site for the first philanthropic hospitality school in Laos, which will give back to the local community by providing its students with professional hospitality training.

“At Rosewood Luang Prabang we wish to create an authentic and exquisite journey for every guest that connects them to nature and creates unforgettable memories of the rich local landscape and culture,” says Sonia Cheng, chief executive officer, Rosewood Hotel Group. “It will also mark two milestones for our company – the launch of a community philanthropic school, as well asthe introduction of Rosewood luxury tent accommodations.”

“This strategic location is a treasure trove of nature’s blessings – the perfect setting for a secluded and indulgent escape,” says Ms. Vareeporn Udomkunnatum, director of Waterfall Management Sole Co., Ltd. “We are very confident that, in the good hands of Bill Bensley and the management of Rosewood Hotels & Resorts, the completed resort will be truly one-of-a-kind.”
